Chelmsford Junior Chess Club: October 2023

Sunday, 22 October 2023

Joshua showed us all a game by GM Alexei Shirov on Saturday then I saw this position on facebook.

Joshua had memorised the game (not the one below) and did a great job with Jacob explaining it.

Shirov is amazingly only the 50th seed in the Isle of Man next week (https://iomchess.com/)

Got a quick photo of some of our older players on Saturday. Dinil and George closest to the camera, Nithilan "assisting" Eddie against Anna.

Don't forget that entries close on Wed 1st Nov for the Chelmsford Grand Prix Tournament on Sat 4th Nov.

Good Luck!
